Clinical Application
Used for focused neurological assessment, this percussion hammer is designed to elicit deep tendon reflexes (eg, patellar, Achilles, biceps, triceps) and assess superficial reflexes during routine neurological exams. Its length and striking surface provide reproducible, controlled taps useful in outpatient clinics, emergency departments, inpatient wards, physical medicine and rehabilitation settings, and pre/postoperative neurologic checks.
Design & Configuration
The 23 cm overall length offers a compact balance between reach and control: short enough for bedside and pocket carry yet long enough to generate consistent mechanical impulse for reflex testing. A single elastomer striking surface concentrates force for reliable stimulus transfer while minimizing patient discomfort. The handle geometry supports wrist-driven taps for reproducibility across repeated exams.
Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction
Durable stainless steel handle provides corrosion resistance and repeated-use durability in clinical environments. The striking surface is a molded elastomer designed to deliver consistent impulse while resisting cracking and deformation under normal clinical use. Intended for routine cleaning and disinfection between patients as part of reusable instrument workflows.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
